The purpose of this study was to examine whether drop height‐induced changes in leg muscle activity during drop jumps (DJ) are additionally modulated by surface condition. Twenty‐four healthy participants (23.7±1.8 years) performed DJ s on a force plate on stable, unstable, and highly unstable surfaces using different drop heights (ie, 20 cm, 40 cm, 60 cm). Electromyographic (EMG) activity of soleus (SOL), gastrocnemius (GM), tibialis anterior (TA) muscles and coactivation of TA/SOL and TA/GM were analyzed for time intervals 100 …
